Top 5 Business Tips

- Greeting is an important element in Tanzanian business culture, and may go on several minutes, with pleasantries exchanged and inquiries about health and family being had.

- Address your Tanzanian colleagues formally, using the appropriate honorific followed by their last name. Wait to be invited before assuming a first-name basis.

- Make an effort to know your Tanzanian colleagues beyond a business relationship; establishing personal rapport will pave the way to successful business dealings.

- Tanzanians are more tactile when talking. Drawing away from this may be construed as distaste for the other person.

- Business attire should be smart and formal. A good suit and tie for men is acceptable and women should take care not to wear revealing or short clothing.
